Effect of Nerve Mobilization in Reducing Pain in Patients with Guyon Canal Syndrome
Background: Guyon Canal Syndrome is a peripheral ulnar neuropathy caused by lesions of the distal ulnar nerve, specifically in the Guyon's tunnel which is at the base of the hypothenar eminence where the ulnar nerve branches and is susceptible to compression. These tunnel structures are frequently subject to cycling-related injuries, sudden compression or repetitive vibration. Guyon Canal Syndrome causes loss of motor, sensory function, or a combination of motor and sensory function. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of nerve mobilization on reducing pain in Guyon Canal Syndrome.
Subjects and Method: This research is a quasi-experimental research conducted at the Grhasia Mental Hospital, Yogyakarta Special Region, in June-July 2023. A total sample of 8 patients diagnosed with Guyon canal syndrome was selected using purposive sampling. The sample was divided into 2 groups (1) 4 people received nerve mobilization and (2) 4 people received standard care. The dependent variable is pain. The independent variable is nerve mobilization. Pain was measured using the Quadruple Visual Analogue Scale (QVAS). The difference in pain scores before and after intervention in the two groups was tested using an independent t test.
Results: The average difference in pain score reduction in the intervention group (Mean= -11.75; SD= 5.68) was greater than the control (Mean= -3.5; SD= 11.39), but not statistically significant (p= 0.242).
Conclusion: The average difference in pain score reduction in the intervention group was greater than the control, but not statistically significant.

Clinical Outcomes Comparison in Administration of Secretome vs Hyaluronic Acid in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis Kellgren-Lawrence Grade I-III
Background: The prevalence of OA in Indonesia is predicted to reach more than 20% of the population aged over 60 years in 2050, with a high risk of disability. So far, early treatment of osteoarthritis in the form of administering hyaluronic acid has not been completely satisfactory and tends to be progressive until ending in more invasive operative therapy. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between secretome injection and hyaluronic acid in patients with Kellgren-Lawrence grade I-III knee osteoarthritis.
Subjects and Method: This was a single-blind experimental study. This study was conducted in the orthopedic polyclinic at General Hospital Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah Bali. A total sample of 36 knee osteoarthritis patients was selected using permuted block sampling with randomization. The sample was divided into two groups, (1) secretome (intervention group) and (2) hyaluronic acid (control group). The independent variables were secretome injection and hyaluronic acid injection. The dependent variable was pain. Pain was measured using Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC), Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Visual Analog Score (VAS), and Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM).
Results: Based on gender, there are more women than men and the right foot is more affected at 58.3%. Functional score parameters in each secretome and hyluronic acid group were compared between the 3rd and 6th months of follow-up. Pain in the hyaluronic acid group was lower than in the secretome group.
Conclusion: Hyaluronic acid has better effect in pain reduction than secretome. Further studies could explore the underlying mechanisms and potential long-term effects to better understand these differences in pain outcomes

Decline in Estrogen Levels and Its Impact on Muscle Strength in Elderly Women: A Systematic Review
Background: In the musculoskeletal system, old age is closely related to a decline in muscle strength. Decreased muscle strength in women is caused by the influence of changes in estrogen hormone levels. Several studies were conducted to see how estrogen affects muscle mass, muscle function, muscle damage, muscle regeneration, inflammation in the body, mitochondrial funct¬ion, and substrate metabolism. Therefore, the study was carried out with the aim of conducting further study focusing on estrogen on muscle strength in elderly women.Subjects and Method: The study was conducted with a systematic review design. The study was carried out in accordance using PRISM guidelines with the PICO formula. Population: elderly women, Intervention: estrogen hormone, Outcome: muscle weakness. Article searches were carried out through several databases, namely PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus Database, and Physio-therapy Evidence Database (PEDro) with the keywords: estrogen OR "estrogen hormone" OR "muscle strength" OR "risk of falls" OR "menopause" OR "women elderly." Risk of bias assessment was carried out according to the study design of each article.Results: There were 10 articles involved in this study. The article has a cross-sectional and longitudinal study design. Articles had a low and medium risk of bias assessment. 6 articles stated that there was a relationship between changes in estrogen hormone levels and muscle weakness. 4 articles stated that there was no relationship between changes in estrogen hormone levels and muscle weakness. Conclusion: There is a inconsistent relationship between estrogen levels and muscle strength in elderly women
